Accompanied by Junior EA and Little EA, I will be away on most secret business in central England today. (A hint: it involves monkeys and aerial wires.)
Updates on the LiveBlogs will be limited, so we encourage readers to bring in the latest news and ideas through Comments. (If you are commenting without using Disqus, there may be some delay in posting your remarks.)
I will be back this evening to catch up with all the latest developments. In the meantime, do enjoy our features from video in Syria to a first-hand account in Bahrain to the comedy moment that occurs when Iran's Press TV teams up with a far-right Englishman.
